Semiautomated region growing segmentation for assessment of pulmonary consolidation 3 weeks after instillation of control vector AdDL70-3 (A-C) or AdTGF-β1 (D-E). Aerated lung volume is used as an inverse surrogate marker for pulmonary fibrosis. (A, D) Axial micro-CT. (B, E) Placement of seed points for the region growing segmentation in the aerated lung. Seed points are enlarged for better detection. (C, F) Segmentation result shows aerated lung volume in white.
